The Digest:

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has declared it will begin enforcement actions next Wednesday against property owners who have defaulted on ground rent, land use conversion fees, and other statutory bills. According to a statement from the FCT Minister’s office, multiple deadlines have passed, including a 14-day grace period on ground rent that expired over five months ago.

Key Points:
  • FCTA to begin enforcement on Wednesday, 26 November.
  • Defaulters include those owing ground rent and land use conversion fees.
  • A 14-day grace period on ground rent expired on 9 June.
  • Final extension for land use clause compliance ends 24 November.
  • Major entities like NNPC, INEC, and CBN were previously listed as defaulters.
  • The PDP secretariat was sealed in a previous enforcement drive.
  • Enforcement also targets those who haven't registered property transfers.
The move signals a tightening grip on revenue streams, where repeated leniency gives way to the unyielding demand for compliance, reshaping the relationship between property and power in the capital.
